"In Norway,Tesla saw a 38% sales slump,in France sales dropped 63%, & Spain 75%. Tesla sales dropped 13% across whole European Union last year & expected to fall further...Tesla registered only 1,277 new cars in Germany in January, a year-on-year drop of 59.5%” yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/world/i...

Single market, customs union. More money for defence and our place back at the top table. Can you talk about it on your podcast @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social on @therestpolitics.bsky.social

Nigel Farage & Liz Truss happy at an event too fascistic even for the political heir to the Le Pens… www.bbc.com/news/article...

Dow Jones down.. The ‘machine’ on X not mentioning it, they are busy running down the UK and Ukraine. Could be the start of a load of bad news coming down the line, who will Trump blame for it?

Morning!

You explain well the complications of the world @mrjamesob.bsky.social but easy slogans and what seems easy answers drives populism for Reform. Foreign aid can this be explained and justified now? Given Trump has cut it?

The left have to realise that populism is here to stay, for the moment. People want easy answers to complicated questions and Reform / Trump offer that.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Why is Trump carving out a new world order right under our noses? @lewisgoodall.com explains.

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

Fun fact: while Phony Stark and the DOGEbags are taking money from our veterans, the world’s poorest people and kids with cancer, Assistant President Poopy Pants has already spent nearly $11 million of our money… playing golf.

Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet. Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

Trump has now completely humiliated his apologists in the U.K. but not one of them will be honest enough to admit it.

Yesterday, @welshgovernment.bsky.social announced that now is the right time to move to ban greyhound racing. As an animal lover, I’m proud that Wales will be the first nation in the UK to do this, setting the highest standards for animal health and welfare. 🐾

Donald Trump calls Zelenskyy ‘a dictator without elections’ in Truth Social post as peace talks with Putin begin. @tomswarbrick.bsky.social

This is real. Unbelievable but real.

I hear Nigel Farage is declining interview requests. First time for everything, I suppose. I suspect he’ll eventually speak to whoever is least likely to challenge him properly.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

❌ Ukraine started the war ❌ America provides more funding than Europe ❌ Ukraine needs immediate elections Sir Ben Wallace fact checks President Trump's recent 'fake news' about Russia's war in Ukraine.

In a world where shock politics is popular,why not put 100 % tax on revenue for online shops?This will transform the high streets plus push more money into economy as when people leave the house they could spend in other things like coffee shops and bars/restaurants @mrjamesob.bsky.social thoughts?

As always @maitlis.bsky.social neatly sums it up

Amazing how quickly the security element of 'Project Fear' turned out to be an almighty bloody understatement...

I’m going to bed! I made the mistake of going on X today and I’m drained now. The usual suspects coordinating JD Vance and ‘his amazing’ speech in Munich 🤯.. I’m very concerned with what the Trump team are doing for global security #scaryTimes

Stand with Ukrainians as Trump prepares to sell them out (Location: Russian embassy, London, Feb ‘23)

Elon Musk is failing to cut American spending DOGE has so far disrupted everything in government bar the deficit www.economist.com/finance-and-...

You dumbfucks said Biden wasn’t “really in charge” and then you handed Trump’s presidency to Elon fucking Musk?

Inflation is now the highest it’s been since June. Gas, groceries, electronics, appliances, cars, housing & utilities are all up. Americans can’t afford to fly, dine out or buy booze. And egg prices just hit a record high.

I’m sure “DOGE” will be all over this.. truthout.org/articles/tes...

Morning!

So Trump has made great TV, showbizz at its best. I’ve loved watching the news the last few weeks. Given all the bluster and stuff signed has the price of bread been reduced in America? Has he actually helped anyone in real terms? Or is it just the sequel of the Apprentice?

Just done @restispoliticsus.bsky.social live on Davos with Rory and the Mooch. Members can listen again. And if you missed it but want to hear become a member! Pic 1 the SDGS event I mention. 2. Tree of the Day. 3. Two fab ex PMs. 4. Enjoyed using the Mooch expensive 24/7 nobody else allowed table!

It’s not just four years of marvelling at how awful he is, it’s four years of being dumbfounded by the desperate dishonesty of supporters. If a photo of Taylor Swift or Hilary Clinton waving is somehow ‘proof’ that Musk didn’t do a Nazi salute in plain sight, what else will they pretend to believe?

Joined our street cleaning teams today, covering areas of St Julian’s & Caerleon. They do a vital job for us on a daily basis. I listened to their needs & also got stuck in myself. Proud of our extra investment of £370,000 into more cleaning & grass cutting across the city.

Have a great day!

Doesn’t get more conclusive than this.

*And bought his knife…

Stepping back from the two big stories of the moment, pretty much all of the platforms where the Southport killer indulged his passions for violence, genocide & murder are owned & controlled by men who were in the prime seats at Donald Trump’s inauguration yesterday. And they all *hate* regulation…

I *really* hope that events don't make this pastor a latter day Martin Niemöller. But the number & identity of prominent people currently excusing or denying Musk's Nazi salutes does not fill me with hope.

August Landmesser, like literally anybody honest, decent or kind, would have clapped. Not a single, presumably invited, character in this congregation fits any of those descriptions.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

Musk openly supports the far right in Britain, see Tommy Robinson. He’s also endorsed Farage and Reform who have moved far right talking points into the mainstream and are aligned with European far right parties. He’s endorsed the far right AfD in Germany. It wasn’t an accident.

Trump has pardoned nearly all of the Jan 6th insurrectionists- including the leader of the Proud Boys, a far right extremist group. Nearly 1500 will he released immediately.
